The Car Connection's Take

TCC Rating
7.7
6.0

TCC’s Bottom Line
The 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee is a benchmark SUV; it's a luxury vehicle, a talented off-roader, a scalding-hot track runner, and a family wagon extraordinaire. If it's an exploration companion you're after, the Toyota 4Runner fits the bill exceptionally well.
